6
Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time.
7
A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
8
He that useth many words shall be abhorred; and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
9
There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
10
There is a gift that shall not profit thee; and there is a gift whose recompence is double.
11
There is an abasement because of glory; and there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
12
There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
13
A wise man by his words maketh him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
14
The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the envious for his necessity: for he looketh to receive many things for one.
15
He giveth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his mouth like a crier; to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he ask it again: such an one is to be hated of God and man.
16
The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me.
